🎒📚 Giving every child the very best start to school.

We are delighted to be providing all new Reception starters across our primary schools with a Transition Bag as they prepare for this exciting next step in their educational journey.

Filled with informative leaflets, a storybook, creative resources and activities to enjoy at home, the bags are designed to support children and families before they start school, helping young learners build confidence and develop key skills. Over 1,000 bags will be distributed across our schools for our September Reception Staters.

At The White Horse Federation, we are committed to giving every child the very best start in life and believe that strong partnerships between home and school are key to helping children thrive from day one.
